On the Shores of Galilee 12x14 framed textured print dark brown frame

About this Image:

And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. - Luke 5:16

Pondering—that was the specific thought I had in mind when I created this piece. During my personal study time on my mission for the LDS Church, I remember reading about how Spencer W. Kimball would get up early and walk around his property, just to be alone and ponder. President Kimball believed that early morning was one of the best times to feel the Spirit and receive revelation. I like to think that although Christ loved others and loved being with people, He also liked to be alone at times, to feel close to His Father with just His own thoughts—pondering.

About the Artist:

Brent S. Borup was born in Boise, Idaho in 1975. As the third of six children, born to Keith and Judy Borup, he loved growing up in the small-treasure, valley-town of Meridian, Idaho. While he attended Centennial High School, he developed a love for art and made it a life-goal to pursue art as a career. In 1994, Brent was called to serve as a full-time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving in the Mexico, Monterrey South Mission. Upon returning home, he attended both Boise State University and the College of Southern Idaho, where he met his beautiful wife and fellow artist Jeanette. Brent currently lives in Preston, Idaho with his wife and three children, fulfilling his dream of being an artist. He considers it a great blessing to be able to share his talents with the world.
